Climbing Wall

Our wall is approximately 30 ft tall with 10 top rope options, 2 lead options and dozens of routes. Each route is marked by different color tape to resemble outdoor routes and offer more of a challenge. Each route is rated on an international rating system; our routes range from 5.7 (Beginner) to 5.12 (Expert). We also have several bouldering problems. Boulder problems are approximately 10 ft high and require no rope, however, are usually more difficult.

Bouldering is permitted at any time up to a height of 10 feet by certified climbers only.
